OOT Fashion Gurus, buy me a jacket (or multiple?)

[Xaston]

I've been working on my wardrobe, mostly by shopping with females friends. It's coming along fairly well. Unfortunately I still don't have any jackets. I have many hoodies and track jackets, but that's it. I live in New England, so for practicality and for fashion, I need something else.

I'm 20 years old and about 5'4" and 120 pounds.

I have a plethora of amazon.com gift cards ( [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] pokerstars), so amazon.com available items and/or links would be awesome.

what's your style. Is it more hip-hop urban, skater/dorky weezer type etc...

I have a few jackets in mind, but need to get more info on your personal style. A dressier one, a more casual one to wear out w/ friends when it's cold?

[Xaston]

Both would be great. I have NO real jackets.

As for my style, I wear a lot of Express/Banana Republic jeans. I mostly wear fairly simple plain t-shirts. I throw on a track jacket or hoodie fairly regularly. I guess I dress in a style that is sort of a cross between preppy and punk. I see some things from various styles that I like and I wear them.

I have about 3 or 4 sweaters that I like to wear this time of year.

go to the chamber of commerce and pickup your free blowsox and/or patsies gear.

also, New England is a not a city or state.

I have this jacket and I love it:

It's good for wearing to work in a dressy environment or going out, although I usually only wear it if I'm dressing nice...i.e. collared shirt, jeans/slacks, nice shoes.

If you're going to be wearing a t-shirt and jeans with sneakers, you may want to stick to something more casual...in which case a track jacket is perfectly fine.

Something like this might look nice.

Are blazers still cool? How hard are they to pull off?

X; Blazers are great, tho possibly douchey with hipster t-shirts and fashion jeans and sneakers. I don't mind it, but some do. Best look imo is with a plain button-down shirt and dark khakis.

Anyway, I have the same question all...I need a light jacket that isn't a blazer for work/casual situations. I've looked in all the mall-type stores and found nada.

Cappy: That jacket is too long for me, I think...it looks like a trench coat.
